You know how traditional languages are changing over time? Well, it turns out that internet slang can do it too. Let's face it - who the hell uses the term lag to talk about latency any more? Lag is a term to quickly describe your computer being crappy, when you have a low FPS, not just when either the remote or local connection is playing up.
Obviously the meaning will never change for people who write games, even in the latest release of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War - Soulstorm the game uses the term "lag" to describe when someone you are playing over the internet or your LAN loses packets, which made me smile when I saw the message.
So, what i'm saying is I tolerate the word being used wrong, hell I use it myself, and so should other people. It is a slang word anyway - and how people get from latency to lag is another story.
